Something’s not right

I’m crying 😢

I’m crying 😢

Every single time I’m alone, even in crowded places, I weep. I feel pathetic when I do it. I was out shopping today accompanied by only cruel voices and my credit card and I had to leave because I wasn’t enjoying it. Yesterday when I was alone at night for about four hours, I was pretty much unable to distract from my voices. I ended up wanting to harm myself. I didn’t but the urge was there. I also wanted to drink, but instead stayed sober.

I keep having these bizarre fantasies of living life like a celebrity, but instead I’m fixated on being a train wreck of a party girl. A few times now I’ve maxed out my credit card buying fashionable party clothes, tattoos, piercings and expensive alcohol. I keep thinking delusional (or so I’m told?) things like I’m better than the kardashians. Then I glimpse myself in the mirror and see I’m crying. Truth is, I’m 40 my back is that of someone twice my age and I’m not popular enough to be a socialite.

Now the voices in my brain lately laugh every time I cry. Trust me there’s a lot of laughter. Sometimes I laugh too but then I remember why they’re laughing and then I feel like harming myself. This sends my mood plummeting through the floorboards.

I thought about tagging some people in this discussion, but think people will probably read and laugh and that will just make me feel worse.

I’m deadset bawling 😭 and my voices are commenting and laughing. One voice (Asher) keeps repeating “die a martyr”. Don’t worry I won’t!

The Mrs thinks I’m having grandiose ideologies and is worried I’m now crashing down to earth.

Should I worry? Should she worry? I feel really embarrassed as this whole partying thing/celebrity lifestyle (with desire for illicit drugs) has been going on for too long. I feel weird mentioning it because it’s my dirty little secret.

Even when I was doing my course I was doing this. Needless to say the alcohol and drug subject was ‘interesting’.

Gawd, I’m crying again... do I dare say post? Okay here goes...

No one is judging or laughing @Queenie. We're here for you, listening, caring. It sounds exhausting, crying takes a lot out of a person.

If you're feeling brave enough then maybe mention to your pdoc next appointment.

Thanks everyone who replied to me @Bunniekins @eth @Maggie @Shaz51 @Molliex @Razzle @outlander @Snowie @Eden1919 plus others reading along.

I’ve been fighting the urge to party again. This will be difficult as I’m going to a concert this weekend and will be surrounded by revellers.

I opened up and told my friend that I’m going to the concert with about my dirty little secret delusion and funnily enough he completely understands. He said I needn’t feel ashamed.

@Queenie well if you think you can just go and enjoy the night out without doing damage to your bank balance then i would say go have fun! but of course it may not be that easy. your friend seems nice and he is right you should not feel ashamed, to be honest i think eveyone has some kind of being famous fantasy but i think if you have mental health issues (psychosis in particular) your brain sometimes takes that and decides to run all the way to candy land with it. i hope you are managing ok but i am sure it is hard.

Another reason to cry...

My arthritis is of a type that eventually I’ll be unable to walk. I told my Mrs I’m scared I’ll lose her but she’s adamant she will stick around, even then.

My voices are telling me truly horrible things.

Does anyone know of a crisis online chat service which isn’t lifeline? I find they don’t understand voices.

I have to change my appearance again. I’m being recognised by the government scientists again. They still want to terminate the experiment my having me self terminate.

The above is a brief explanation of what my voices are telling me. I’m frightened. I can’t seem to do anything right.

I don’t want to tag people so they feel obligated to reply. It all started around 3pm this afternoon.
